The debauched singer who has recently been arrested for raping his ex-girlfriend was quoted in the complaint made by the victim’s sister saying that the victim should not have objected to sex because he had promised to marry her. Read on to get the full story…

Ankit Tiwari‘s soulful voice in the touching number Sunn raha hai na tu from Aashiqui 2 is a stark contrast to the statement he allegedly made to the 28-year-old girl’s sister, who he is accused of raping. If Ankit indeed said, “We would be getting married soon she should not object to sex,” then he has busted all myths about being benevolent.

In the complaint lodged against the Ek Villain singer, the victim’s sister revealed that her aggrieved girl had narrated all that had passed between Ankit and her. She told the police that when Ankit was confronted about this episode he defend himself from his wrongdoings. According to the depraved singer, his promise of marriage gave him the license to force himself on the victim. The complaint lodged against him states him saying that his ex-girlfriend should not have objected to physical intimacy after he had promised to marry her.

We can’t say what is more inexcusable: what Ankit did or what Ankit said! Almost every second day we hear an Abu Azmi or an Abhijit Mukherjee making derogatory remarks on women but patriarchy masked by sexism doesn’t limit to politics. Whenever we hear of a young talent like Ankit engaging in the act of sexual assault, our hope for a safe future for women gets little bleaker.

Ankit has been detained under Sections 376, 493 and 417 of the IPC, for rape, cohabitation caused by a man deceitfully inducing a belief of lawful marriage, and cheating. This 24-year-old’s partner in crime, brother Ankur has also been charged under Section 506(2) of the IPC for criminal intimidation as he had threatened to harm the victim and her sister at an earlier instance.

Though we are waiting for the law to take its own course and sentence Ankit and his brother to a fitting punishment, we hope that the verdict doesn’t too long.

After facing criticism, Azmi recently clarified his remark on the anti rape law

After facing a lot of flak, Ayesha Takia’s father-in-law and Samajwadi party leader, Abu Azmi clarified his statement made on the anti-rape law. Azmi clarified, “I never said that the girl who is raped should be punished. I said rapist should be punished and girl is a victim. I said that all of us should show solidarity with the girl,” He further added, “I will never make such statement, only a mad person will say such things.”

On Friday, the Samajwadi party leader had made a controversial statement on capital punishment for rapists. He had said, “Rape is punishable by hanging in Islam. But here, nothing happens to women, only to men. Even the woman is guilty.”

Azmi further added, “In India, if you have sex with a person with consent, it’s fine. But if that same person complains, it’s a problem. Nowadays, we see a lot of such cases. Girls complain when someone touches them, and even when someone doesn’t touch them. It becomes a problem then, and the man’s honour is ruined in this. If rape happens with or without consent, it should be punished as prescribed in Islam.”

As soon as this report came out, people expressed their angst on social media and criticised his narrow approach towards women. Azmi also had to face the brunt from his own family. His son Farhan Azmi, a member of the Samajwadi Party and a candidate for Lok Sabha elections from Mumbai North Central said, “Consensual sex is a private matter, it’s a freedom given to us by the constitution.” He further added, “We cannot be discussing these things in front of TV cameras. I have spoken to my father about the comments. I stand against every person who is insulting a woman.”

Interestingly, the remarks were made on Friday, April 11, 2014 and his clarification came two days later on April 13. Wonder what makes him wait so long to clarify on a statement that he believed was tweaked. Was it his busy schedule or jus an ego ride? What do you think peeps?

After Samajwadi Party leader and Ayesha Takia’s father-in-law, Abu Azmi made a shocking statement about women’s safety, bahu Ayesha has taken a concrete stand on the issue and maintains that she doesn’t quite agree with Azmi

We were nodding our heads in disagreement when Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi made that shameful statement just a couple days back claiming that women should not go out with men other than their relatives for it leads to more rape cases in urban areas compared to rural parts of the country.

Azmi did not stop there. He also urged the censor board to not clear movies that have explicit scenes which embarrass families, even though his own daughter-in-law Ayesha Takia has done some hot numbers and sizzling scenes.

And now, Ayesha has reacted to the controversial episode with gusto. “My father-in-law is the head of r family ,v all lov n respect him alot. I have my own mindset which doesn’t hav 2 match with every1 … Comments made by anyone, even sumone close to me, when they r regressive, do not reflect my thoughts n mindset. Im an individual n have my own mentality (sic),” tweeted the Wanted babe in retaliation to her dear father-in-law’s opinion on how one should look after their own safety.

Adman Prahlad Kakkar has appreciated Ayesha for taking a courageous stand and going against her powerful father-in-law’s controversial remark. “Abu Azmi’s stupid comment reflects somewhere that he disapproves of his daughter-in-law, a Bollywood star. It is good that Ayesha is clearing her stand,” said Kakkar in an interview to a daily.

We at BollywoodLife second Ayesha’s opinion even as some of our regressive netas continue with their mindless blabber!
